Corporate Citizenship - Our Approach

Corporate citizenship, which to us means integrating economic, social and environmental factors into our everyday business practice, is fundamental to the way Sodexo operates. By addressing the issues that affect our stakeholders, and therefore our success, our approach to corporate citizenship aims to ensure a better quality of life for present and future generations through sustainable business practice.

In 2005, Sodexo launched 'Ambition 2015', a set of ambitious ten-year growth targets that include doubling our sales income and tripling our operating profits. To reach these ambitious targets, we have outlined a clear business strategy, which involves:

• reinforcing our position in food services
• accelerating our development in facilities management services
• becoming the global leader in service vouchers and cards

Our corporate citizenship strategy addresses the key issues that most affect our clients and customers, employees, suppliers, local communities and the environment, and that have a significant impact on our business.

Our reporting model
Sodexo's approach to corporate citizenship reporting is to provide stakeholders with an insight into how we act as a responsible company by managing our social, environmental and economic impacts within our UK and Ireland business. Our corporate citizenship model demonstrates how our approach is based on commitments to stakeholders.
